At every meter.

We have contacts with good people among the gypsies.

We'll always know when the Lees plan to attack.

With all the strikes and troubles, can't really depend on the police.

Anyway, we're more honest.
128
Looks like you two are making a deal.
129
We are making progress.
130
Then let me throw a small condition into the mix.
131
So listen, we're gonna go for dinner at Kimber's house.
132
He is a place a couple of miles away.
133
I have some business to settle for us with this accountant, so you go on ahead with Kimber.

Yeah.

Till I'm done here.
137
Is that alright?
138
Look, I'll throw in an extra th-t-t-ed, your extra time.

I think I'm a whore.
140
Everyone's a whore.

Christ.

The deal is, I'll give him two hours with you.

He thinks he's a ladies man.
147
He thinks he can seduce you.
148
Whenever you want, just kick him in the balls.
149
I'm a class in a contract.
150
If you want to be part of my organization, you'll have to make sacrifices.

As a sweetener, you can try your luck with mine.

Yeah, we have a deal.

Two hours?

Woordenschat en spreektips bij deze les

Deze spreekles op niveau B2 is gebaseerd op de video “Tommy takes Grace to the Races”. Deze woorden komen het vaakst terug: Kimber, race, Lee, dance, lady. Deze video bevat 157 zinnen en 967 woorden om na te spreken. Het gesproken deel duurt 9:53. De spreker praat langzaam, ongeveer 98 woorden per minuut, zodat je tijd hebt om elke klank na te doen. Slechts 81% van de woorden hoort bij de 3.000 meest gebruikte Engelse woorden, dus de woordenschat is pittig. 24 van de 157 zinnen zijn vragen, dus het is goede oefening voor vraagintonatie en korte antwoorden.

  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als handkerchief, shilling, accountant.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
